There will be a narrative running across the double page spread. The Mallard drake is hidden under a flap, which when lifted not only reveals the drake, but will also give additional information about Mallard ducks.
This is the format that I have in mind for the other pages as well. The book is aimed at 5 to 7 year olds. In the narrative the cat will take the reader along the canal and introduce them to some of the wildlife and things that can be found on a normal canal walk. The last page is a spotter page, which a child can use to tick the boxes when they spot the illustrated animal/thing. I am hoping that this will encourage young children to go out and walk on the canals, which are in abundance in Great Britain.
Here the cat takes a walk along the canal and stops to look at a Mallard drake and duck...
